An Interlinked Rubiyat
A chapter in the book Little Poems

When all is said and done, we will survive.
This poem is an Interlinked Rubiyat.
It takes on all the attributes of a Rubiyat written in iambic pentameter. In this Persian form of poetry is a series of rhymed quatrains. In each quatrain, all lines rhyme except the third, leading to this pattern:
aaba.
An "Interlocking Rubiyat" is a Rubiyat where the subsequent stanza rhymes its 1st, 2nd, and 4th lines with the sound at the end of the 3rd line in the stanza before it. In this form, the 3rd line of the final stanza is also rhymed with the 3 rhymed lines in the first stanza.
This leads to a form like this example with four stanzas; note that the Rubiyat is allowed an unlimited number of stanzas, so extend the pattern as needed. The rhyme scheme is:
aaba bbcb ccdc ddad
